I was going to make an errand run today but temps never got above 0. So crap from my freezer it is!

I may watch this scene again just to hear Steely Dan. I nearly wore out my Can’t Buy A Thrill album. Then I made a mistake of loaning it to someone I trusted and never saw it again. Lynn from Bode, I am the queen of old grievances, an elephant who hasn’t forgotten.

Less than two minutes.

Art? Crafts? A bag of meaning for the recipient that was a giant headache for me.

I’m watching The Shawshank Redemption dreaming of taking a tiny hammer to dig through stone walls so I can swim through the sewage pipe of trump’s shit and end up on a beach in Mexico.

Did I say 7 pm? I am ready for oblivion now.

Is 7 pm an acceptable bedtime if the person didn’t sleep for shit the night before? Asking for a tired friend.

If you don’t keep me awake, I will wake you up at a reasonable hour.

I slept so little last night I thought I’d be asleep by 8 pm tonight. At 6:30 I am so ready for bed. Dance, monkeys, dance at least until 8 pm.

The sky is not black at 5:30 pm at latitude 42.7240. There is light and hope. Minnesotans keep gathering to protest. They take pepper balls, tear gas and bullets for us. Here is the way out. Resist, resist, resist!

I absolutely, positively could not love the good protesting citizens of Minnesota more. If F bombs could kill, ice would be melted.

@woodyphi.bsky.social For the 4th musketeer.

From October 2024:

Vonya, a cafe worker and student here in Kyiv, told me his dorm had gone a month without water and that he has to shower at his girlfriend’s parent’s home. I have more man-on-the street video reports coming today. In the meantime, please subscribe to my Substack newsletter, Terrell J. Starr.

"These are not a confrontational people. In fact, they’re so pleasant that their general state of mind is referred to as 'Minnesota nice.' When I first heard the time, I just assumed the phrase was sarcastic (because I’m from New Jersey). It’s not. michaelianblack.substack.com/p/minnesota-...

I click to see what’s hot here. Golden Globes. I don’t know half the people everyone is creaming their jeans about, IDGAF about what gowns are worn by/designed by. I care that the fat fuck is destroying democracy. #goldenglobes

Breaking news!!!! reviews are in for the new Melania movie

Snapshot of the best arguments MAGAs have sent my way.🤦🏽‍♂️ Which one of my clapbacks is your favorite? youtu.be/AkFJDKWxwr0?...

I don’t know how much longer I can take this…

Do they still even sell that crap?

Another beautiful piece by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social . Beautiful cave tour descriptions, roadside and Choctaw history, the grief of our national decline. Also gives us a guide for retaining our humanity and strength these days: "In the 21st century, defiance is compassion; compassion is defiance."

@woodyphi.bsky.social Blink if you are being held captive.

Had a 4 hour lunch with 6 women today. After I left the party moved a few doors down to our sentimental dive bar. Sorry, not sorry to miss that but I am home and 6.5 hours later, there are at least 2 old ladies who will have to drive home in the dark.

Vigil for Renee Good here in front of Wisconsin’s capitol building right now:

Years ago there were toy vehicles, I can’t remember if they were wind up or battery operated, but they would cross the floor until they hit an obstacle and turn and travel on. Stupid fun. Until you put them on an empty table

So. Much. Shit. Coming. Down. The. Pike.

Thinking about changing my tag name to F that C.

Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn was on the front lines of January 6. Five years later, he warns the greatest threat isn’t just what happened—but the lies rewriting it. “January 6 was not legitimate political discourse.” Read his powerful piece: www.meidasplus.com/p/history-be...

Empires cost far more than they profit, but the balance sheet is ignored because the profits are captured by their owners and the costs are borne by the people. Trump did not change the office of the presidency. He exposed it. youtu.be/CFCBpwsFTpc?...

I'm reading a novel and miniature donkeys enter the scene. This was my miniature donkey, Sophie Punkin Head, who was bottle fed and lived in the house. She turned into an adorable outside brat.

When I was a kid, we feared nuclear war. Duck and cover! Like that would save us from nuclear fallout. Now I fear feudal tech lord states, famine and constant aggression from everyone fired up by this apparent attempt to divide the world to steal resources.

There is a glorious sunset going on, of which I can see very little. I miss sitting on the west stoop of my crappy old farm house, letting the colors wash over me.

Suburbia implementing Trump foreign policy.

Fun fact: my first summer after graduating from HS, I went to work on a dude ranch in Wyoming. It was educational in that it was a rinky dink dude ranch that somehow lured people to spend time there.

"I lived through the consequences of an illegal war sold to the American people with lies." Marine Corps veteran Ruben Gallego is drawing a line in the sand. Read his full statement here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/we-will-no...

OK. It’s Parks and Recreation for the 3rd time now. If only we could reboot Obama.

My brain is breaking. My only real live source of news is CBS. I haven’t dipped a toe in that cesspool. This morning I had BBC live on YouTube but can’t find it again. I need stolen oil money to find dependable news. When will tariffs trickle down?

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up. But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

I was an ignorant white Iowan who hitchhiked through Europe in the 70s. I quickly learned the US was not universally loved (Vietnam). Getting rides was easier with a maple leaf sewn on my backpack. What a worse hole we are sliding down now.

I took an 8 hour movie break but I’m back screaming at the news on tv.

I know many Venezuelans are happy that Maduro is gone. (So am I). That said, do I agree with my country kidnapping him, bypassing US congressional approval and any regard to international law or human rights? No. I explain why 👇🏾

Excellent cartoon hits the mark..

A detailed description of the assault is being given for all you war boners out there. The incels are giddy.
